Chapter 461 The Outside World

How big is the entire space bubble area? No one dares to give an accurate number so far. Even the Demon King's Army scholar who "calculated the entire universe" only gave a rough theoretical value for the boundary of the space bubble area. The specific number of space bubbles within this boundary is No one knows. People only know that since the beginning of history, they have only explored a small part of the "entire world" in which they live. Even the elves and elves with the longest history have never set foot on the desolate outer edges of the bubble area. And even among the planes that have been explored, there are only a few spaces that can be built as homes in the future and can be inhabited. Most of the space bubbles are directly abandoned after being explored: no resources, no air, and deadly radiation. , no water, highly toxic soil... Countless slaves who were thrown out to explore the path have marked countless unsurvivable planes with their lives. The greatest magician in the human world is not willing to build his mage tower in This kind of place, because they can't find anything here - except for a few crazy mages, but we won't discuss those crazy people.

Mortals are very self-centered creatures. Just as people on earth believed that they stood at the center of the entire world, scholars in the human world also established a rough model after constantly exploring space bubbles: they put The discovered plane suitable for survival is placed in the middle of this model, and then according to the degree of desolation, the farther "outside" the space bubble is, the harder it is to survive. This crude model has no boundaries, and only has a general label outside a series of border planes: Outside here, everything is desert.

Considering the chaotic spatial structure of the space bubble area and the fact that the space bubbles themselves are not ordered in three-dimensional space, this crude model proposed by various races in the human world is not wrong. Anyway, it does not matter which space bubble is placed in the center of the model— —Of course this model is useless, since the desert region remains unknown except for the known habitable planes.

Yzaks' demon army is the only intelligent creature in the world that has tried hard to visit this desert for thousands of years. However, they were unable to reach the real border of the bubble area at the furthest point.

The fleet is passing through strange places with harsh environments. After passing the last small human kingdom where there are people living, there is no life left in front of them. Outside the portal, there are endless storms, huge waves, poisonous oceans, strong cosmic radiation, and even directly passing by some dangerous celestial bodies: If the Giant Turtle Platform hadn't been able to detect the opposite side of the gate in advance, Under such circumstances, even Irem's spaceship is very likely to crash in this dangerous bubble area. Back then, Yzaks didn't even have a spaceship but he dared to organize a group of people to explore this place. As expected, a real man relies on the word "reckless" - when he returned back then, he only suffered more than half of the casualties and not the entire army was annihilated. Life is better.

In order to better observe the scene ahead, grasp the entire route, and more importantly, to stop Lily from causing trouble, Hao Ren and the others had already returned to the bridge of the Giant Turtle Platform. What was uploaded to the external monitor was a strange scene of turbulent waves in a certain desolate plane: the sky and the earth were pale, the whole world was covered with never-ending "heavy snow", and huge white foam waves thousands of meters high were rising in a giant sky. Under the pull of the celestial body, it rolled up out of thin air, forming a weird curly shape in the air, and then slowly collapsed little by little, turning into snowflakes all over the sky and falling silently to the ground.

Lily dragged Elizabeth, and the two naughty children, one big and one small, squatted on the chairs in front of the holographic projection and exclaimed one after another: "Ouch - heavy snow!" "Wow! So beautiful!" "I really want to put something on my neck. Go out and drag something around for a run..."

A certain husky's ancestral instinct from the Arctic Circle transport king is about to take action.

But it's not snow outside. The overwhelming white stuff is nitrogen solidified at low temperatures. The fleet is passing over a deadly ultra-low temperature giant planet. The portal of this plane opens directly into the snow-like solid nitrogen. During the storm, the spacecraft rushed out and broke into a world covered in silver. In the previous dimension, they had traveled tens of thousands of kilometers in space. These are the inhospitable planes, and you never know what kind of bad place you will encounter: bad, and even worse.

The giant wreckage was covered with a layer of white nitrogen snow, but otherwise it was in good condition. Those gravity regulators were in good working order. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before they reached the gate of the world safely.

Due to dragging such a big guy, the Airem fleet can no longer move at full speed to cross the border in a day like when it first arrived. Now the speed of the tugboat is less than one-third of the fleet's maximum speed, and the fleet will probably have to move one by one. It took two days of trekking through the weird plane to reach the door home. However, everyone was in a good mood: the entire operation went more smoothly than expected, and the Erim elves did not suffer any major losses. The indigenous army of this world was caught off guard when facing the battleship, which made the originally expected The orderly counterattack actually only lasted a short while and was harmless.

"You said those words before you left," Hao Ren turned to look at Yzaks, "You really love this world deeply."

"This way they will at least have some motivation," Yzaks smiled. "Since they have finally joined together, let's try to stay together for a longer time. It would be best if even the demons established a closer relationship with the human world under pressure. Long-term contact, such a loose alliance will become a habit from generation to generation - there will still be wars, after all, wars are also the driving force of progress, but internal friction wars that blindly exterminate opponents like before should not happen. Li: From now on, they must have a common goal."

Hao Ren chuckled: "Well, from now on, the common goal should be to go to the depths of the universe and kill you again - you said that after hundreds or thousands of years have passed, their descendants will finally study the era of the big universe. According to the ancient When the prophecy ran out to face the devil, he realized that the devil was teasing them. What would the expressions of those unlucky children be like?"

Yzaks shrugged: "Who knows? It's possible that the few words I left can only unite them for a while, or it may only be enough to push the world forward half a step - it is too difficult for short-lived species to change. It is speculated that the change of generations makes cultural inheritance and historical records not so reliable. Maybe in the end no one except the elves and the spiritual people will know the truth of the devil's prophecy. Maybe the new generation of humans in two hundred years will understand it. The prophecy that 'the devil will one day come back from the depths of the universe' is regarded as a fairy tale. But in any case, taking half a step is better than standing still. At least they will have a shadow hanging above their heads for a long time. Let’s work hard for a generation.”

Then the Lord Demon King laughed: "Anyway, I have done everything I should do. I am not a god. How can I guess the trajectory of the world after I leave? But at least it should be better than before. Hey, I can count my merits today. The adult has retired."

Vivian looked at Yzaks with a strange expression: "You are really... you don't seem to be angry or regretful at all? You sacrificed hundreds of years and finally pushed the world half a step forward. , and you have to be on the blacklist for generations to come, are you not aggrieved at all?"

Yzaks grinned: "So this is the difference in the devil's way of thinking: Why should I care about that? My goal is clear, I want to enter the sea of ​​​​stars, and I want all races in the world to end the melee - now my The goal has been achieved, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?”

Hao Ren looked up at him: "Is it okay for the whole world to hold a grudge?"

"Fuck me."

Everyone: "..."

In the end, the Demon King gave these four words of evaluation to everyone in the world.

The fleet continued sailing, and finally gradually approached the end.

Several planes have been boundless in space, and the previous rule that "portal gates are mostly near large celestial bodies" caused by a certain gravitational focus has begun to fail. After the spacecraft passes through the gate of the plane, it is always faced with more and more things. The greater the scope of the cosmic vacuum, this is a sign that the space bubble zone is about to end.

Yzaks came outside the spacecraft, sat cross-legged on the upper armor belt of the Giant Turtle Platform, and watched a wonderful total reflection sphere rapidly enlarge in front of the fleet.

That was the last space gate. The structure of the total reflection sphere was completely different from the previous plane gates, indicating that the opposite side of this gate was the real universe.

After crossing the gate, a sight never seen before in the space bubble area came to my face.

A sea of ​​stars.

Yzaks relaxed his body and lay on his back on the armor belt, not minding the radiation of cosmic rays. He squinted his eyes under the starlight and seemed to merge into the space, feeling the brilliant stars shining in the entire universe.

Faintly, a short, stooped figure appeared in front of him again. His hair was messy, his clothes were shabby, and his face was wrinkled. He yelled angrily: "You messed up my data!"

"Hey...old guy, you were right - the world outside is so big."
